Hurst Family News

Just a quick little blog because I don't want to spend all day typing:  Ian has difficulty with his pronunciation at times.   Landon Maurice is "Lando Marie" Charlie Curtis then becomes "Chollie Tortoise"  So glad my baby doesn't look like that guy.  "Chollie" and I spent a few days in California visiting family.  It was most definitely a good-for-the-soul trip as intended. I'm still getting back into the saddle of three kids and no help during the day.  Quite a change from one kid with Grandma and Auntie fighting over who gets to hold him. However I did not take a single picture with my camera. So you just get the tortoise picture instead.  YAY Now back to cleaning and herding and playing with the mancubs.

I thought since it feels like forever since I sat down to do a blog entry I'd just do it all in one go.   Ready?  (In the voice of Peter Pan) "Here we GOoooo!" This is how Landon shows he can be a good big brother.  He is "reading" one of his favorite books to Charlie.  It's in the shape of a tractor and all about...you guessed it- TRACTORS!   Other big brother wanted in when he heard Lando say "Cheese!" (PS I don't know how the scratch on Lando's face happened only that we didn't realize it was a full scratch and not just dried blood that had run down his face until the next day...)  So the boys keep me busy.  Same story as every other mom right? Know what else keeps me busy (and makes a grand mess?)  Crafting.   But it's good for the soul most of the time and doesn't hand me boogers as presents.  So here's the story behind THIS craft project.  You see I'll be flying to California to visit my Grandma soon but it'll...

Had a lovely reunion this last weekend.  Charlie even did really well for his first camping trip. Thanks Aunt Trish for arranging it all. 4 generations of Hursts.  Then we took family pictures.  Here are some of my favorites from our little family: This kid was awfully grumpy during the photo shoot. Luckily we had goldfish to bribe him.  Climbing on the fort. My sweet boys. (Note Landon is hiding his goldfish.) The Mama. And the Daddy:  ...and so the light reflects off the disco ball... And the non-cheesy shot...well...less cheesy :) And for the grand finale: Droop Shot There are oodles more family pictures.  But that'll do for now.
